The present study is the first report on the chemical and enantiomeric compositions of essential oils from the Ecuadorian species Gynoxys hallii Hieron., Gynoxys calyculisolvens Hieron., and Gynoxys azuayensis Cuatrec. All the volatile fractions presented a sesquiterpene-based chemical profile, typical of other volatile fractions from this genus. Both qualitative (GC-MS) and quantitative (GC-FID) chemical analyses were carried out on two stationary phases of different polarity (non-polar and polar). The main constituents of G. hallii essential oil on the two columns, respectively, were &alpha:-pinene (33.6&ndash:31.5%), (E)-&beta:-caryophyllene (6.2&ndash:6.4%), germacrene D (35.7&ndash:38.3%), and bicyclogermacrene (3.8&ndash:4.0%). In G. calyculisolvens, the major compounds were &alpha:-pinene (11.2&ndash:11.0%), p-cymene (4.0&ndash:3.7%), &alpha:-copaene (3.6&ndash:3.7%), (E)-&beta:-caryophyllene (8.1&ndash:8.3%), germacrene D (20.8&ndash:22.0%), and germacrene D-4-ol (8.4&ndash:8.6%). Finally, the main components of G. azuayensis were &alpha:-pinene (4.5&ndash:4.1%), germacrene D (14.1&ndash:12.4%), bicyclogermacrene (2.6&ndash:3.0%), tridecanal (6.4&ndash:6.2%), and spathulenol (7.8&ndash:7.1%). Furthermore, enantioselective analyses were conducted on the three volatile fractions, using two stationary phases based on &beta:-cyclodextrins. As a result, twelve chiral components were investigated, detecting both enantiomerically pure compounds and scalemic mixtures with various enantiomeric excess.
